Ghostbusters Walkthrough, ZX Spectrum 

Well... It wasn't groundbreaking, the Spectrum version got a lot of bad reviews because of it's poor graphics, music and synthesized speech however it was extremely playable for some reason and had re-playability because of you Bank balance carrying over to a new game so you could buy better vehicles and equipment on subsequent playthroughs

yes more was left up to the imagination back then, games are too much like movies these days and it feels like you're just guiding a character through a story

Same here. All it said in the manual was "sneak past" him. Great. But I don't really see how you can sneak past him.

That was the 48K version.

Did your other games include Fun Time with Bill Cosby and AIDS: The Video Game

@@PolythenePam0451 Presumably the only other game he owned was "Make A Chip".

@@PolythenePam0451 If I'd a choice of this, or Fred West's Hide and Seek of a Saturday night; I'd seriously consider big Fred....

Maybe he meant it was one of his top 10,000 favourites?

Same.

LOL

Yep, thats how you had to do it. 99% success rate that way

If you cross the streams, the attempt to catch the ghost ends, and the game tells you something like: "You have crossed the streams! Fortunately the backpack energy has run out in time." (And you have to return to the headquarters to recharge it.) When you place the trap and the two guys, you can then move them in order to squeeze the ghost between them and catch it with the trap. But if you miss, you can't try again, and the ghost attacks one of the guys. (If you fail in two missions, you can't place the needed two men in order to catch the ghost, and you again need to return to HQ so that they can recover.)

Hi there. Yes, a 128K only version with AY music was made.

I managed the feat, once - think it's something to do with Stay puft shifting to the left at the top of one of his jumps in the sequence - you had to be absolutely spot on with your timing. The 48k+ version didnt have the animation of climbing the tower at the end either - just jumped straight to the end bank screen with the account code

Hmmm, maybe one day I'll get hold of an emulator and have another go! May go straight for the 128k version though, hahah.

you must have died of boredom already.did you ever play it ???

Buy some ghost bait at the start, and press the 'B' key just before the ghosts on the map form the Marshmallow Man later.

Mine had no music either, but I did play the music version recently and blimey it gets repetitive quickly.

If you're asking how to stop him from destroying buildings, you need to buy ghost bait, and hit the 'B' key before the ghosts form the Marshmallow Man. At least that's how it's done on the C64 and Atari versions.

I got mine for about £3.

@@andrewmorrice9139 10 for me.

You don't need to catch the ghosts to trigger the end game, when the baddies arrive at the Temple of Zuul. Catching ghosts just gives you $100 each.

@@rzxarchive Well yeah but catching the Slimers to raise enough funds to pay off the loan is kind of the point of the game is it not?

@@richallenxbox1976 You can also raise funds by attracting a marshmallowman, as at 16:11 where you get $2000, more than for catching ghosts.

Strangest Cockney I've ever heard!

No shit, Einstein.

Do you have any other words of wisdom? How about: "My Ferrari goes faster than a Fiat Punto"?
